Hello, hello! Sorry for tagging and bothering all of you so suddenly, yet I have some questions for you fellow dead folk. How would you guys be interested in a neat little tournament that takes place in Hell, hosted by Kaza and Jizo ? The general idea behind The Hell GamesTM is that a lot of SSE and MD folk ended up dying in the war, and despite being dead, I thiiiink SSE people still kinda hate MD people, and vice versa. Maybe not as passionately as they hated eachother while alive, but I think we can build on the competitive nature between them! So what better way to do that than to host a tournament, and see which faction comes out on top? Ofcourse, even neutral and unaffiliated characters are free to participate as well! Hell, ANYONE with the ability to visit the Afterlife can swing by and join The Hell GamesTM, the more the merrier! I hope ya'll like the idea, and are interested in joining in! I'll try and think of some sort of prize for the winner, and maybe even the runner-up, but I'm not too sure about that yet. Jizo and I will probably start the IC planning when we feel that enough people are interested in joining, so I really hope that you guys are excited! Please, share your thoughts!TAGS: Plato Tomoka Vennel Friion Somatotrope Brassica Abzerute Mammon Mayze Tomoyo Greeve Rosemary (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT THE SIGN-UP THREAD!)

What I personally intend on doing is to have The Hell GamesTM use the same system and rules that the Heaven & Hell Tournament used, since those rules are familiar and already proved to work nicely. Will save everyone a looottaa headaches! For reference, the Heaven & Hell tournament rules can be found here: wodsouls.freeforums.net/thread/9626/heaven-tournament-bracket-matchesAn additional rule, not stated in that 'rulebook' is that once characters officially sign up, their PL is 'locked', meaning they can only use the PL they signed up with in the tournament.
To avoid powergrinding before it starts n' whatnot, y'know?

Ah, I seeeeeeeeee. I was more wondering if it were teams, ffa, or actual tourney like.

Sounds neat, but how about the wildly different PLs? Will there be brackets to keep the fights from being one-sided, or what?

Putting everything in 'tiers' as it were for a tournament of such a small scale wouldn't work out, so sadly, there will be some giant PL gaps in some fights. Don't let that put you down, though! PL isn't the only factor in a fight, and I'm sure most people will try to make it entertaining for all parties involved

Maybe like a below 100k and an above 100k brackets?

An idea, although I personally have to admit that I'm not a big fan of PL-centric brackets. I feel it alienates the strong from the weak, and vice versa. I feel it'd be much more interesting and potentially entertaining to have people of all power and skill ranges competing.
Also the fact that most 100K+ people currently in hell are more than familiar with one another, and the same goes for most sub-100K people. Not many new, refreshing interactions would be made, is what I fear.
Those are just my thoughts, though- I'd like to hear some other opinions as well o:

Than I suppose all we can hope to do is train hard enough before officially signing up?

Makes sense. I'm just wary of the "your PL is locked in once you sign up" rule, given both my interest in this and how far below everyone else this particular character is.

I feel like a lot of this 'power level' problem could be cleared up if we could only have some way to suppress everyone's PL But mechanically I think the only way to do that is to have everyone in the tourney know ki setting themselves

that be unfair to the strong maybe just make sure like the first round to try and make people of near power fight
